be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

PORTABLE CART WARNING

S3126A

Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.

Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit,

and 5 cm from the each side.

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom

are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation

of the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings

must not be blocked or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or

other similar surface. (This unit should never be placed

near or over a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not

be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless

proper ventilation is provided.

contact dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts and

cause fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on

the unit.

Electric Power

Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If

you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,

consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To

operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the

operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to inserf the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician

to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

1 ENGLISH

Power-cod Protection. The unit is provided with an

attachment plug with overload protection. This

IS a safety

feature. See operating instructions for replacement or

resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is

required, be sure the service technician has used a

replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the

same overload protection as the original plug.

CXmrloacting - Do not alk~w anything to rest on the power

cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

because this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not place

the unit in an area where people will walk on the cord.

Qildoor Antenna

Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such

power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna

system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching

power lines or circuits because contact with them may be

fatal.

outdoor Antenna Grounding - [f an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna

or cable system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/

NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast anl~ supporting structure, grounding

of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, locatlon of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode. See the figure.

Cleaning -

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Damaae Reauirirwt Service

Unplug the unit from the wail outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.

3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

4) If the unit does not operate normally when following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions because

Improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage to the unit and will often require extensive

work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to

normal operation.

5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service.

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because opening

or removing covers may expose you to high voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or having the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

Safety Check - After completion of any service or repairs to

the unit, ask the service technician to perform a safety

check to ensure that the unit is in proper operating

condition.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s

attention to Article 820-40 of the NIEC that provides

Preparing the remote control

To prevent damage from leakage or explosion, follow

the descriptions below.

. Insert two supplied R03 (size AAA) batteries with the

0 and O marks correctly as illustrated.

. Do not mix old batteries with new ones or different

types of batteries.

. Do not throw the batteries into a fire, apply heat to

them or take them apart.

. Do not carry the batteries with keys or other metallic

objects.

Remove the batteries when they have no more power, or when

you do not use the remote control for a long period of time.

Point the remote control toward the REMOTE SENSOR.

u

● The remote control may not operate when there is any

obstruction between the remote control and the REMOTE

SENSOR.

● Strong ambient light sources such as a fluorescent lamp or

direct sunlight may cause unreliable operation.

● Using a TV with the same type of infrared remote control

facing the same direction may cause incorrect operation.

. The maximum distance for effective control between the

remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR is 7 meters.

● Although you can use the remote control within an angle of

up to 30 degrees in any direction from directly in front of the

REMOTE SENSOR, we recommend a narrower angle for

stable operation.

The remote control can control the CATV converters for the

CATV. To control CATV converters, set the manufacturer’s

code number shown in the table on the next page.
